hey guys i finally have a skyline after almost two years i finally got fed up of looking for one and got it ;) lol.. it was either this or wait a about 12 months for a 34, i really didnt want to wait any longer and ive always been looking for a 32 like this so when it came up i went and had a look, the only thing is it is stock as a rock which i think is a good thing..

>Its a '92 R32 gts-t

>86,... kms

>coupe

>manual

>black

I bought it on saturday from a place called japcar on sydney rd(anyone dealt with them??), i went there about 4 times to look at this car and on the 4th i got it, it looks very tidy and it drives really smooth. it should be ready in about two weeks because he said he has to get a compliance plate for it (i thought this should have been done already), and then book it in to be registered at vicroads.

So for now i guess i just have to play the waiting game...

and look for an alarm/immobaliser that works well with a TT, and insurance, sound system, wheels, exhaust, suspension omg so much to do anyway we'll see what happens 1 mod at a time.

Just thought i'd share the good news and show some pics.

Another addition to the black R32 Brotherhood! Join up SAU vic and enjoy the benifits!

It's not unusual that dealers and private importers will wait until they have a buyer until they do compliance. Otherwise they have more money tied up with a car that is just sitting in a yard...

Cars are usually resprayed I would say, and for standard cars they are a little pricey but if ya car looks that mint then its worth it.

exactly, it was a bit considering its stock but it looks damn good and if it doesnt give me much trouble then i cant complain but we'll see when i get it hey

all their cars are respays some same as oringinal some comletely different colour like a couple blue 32s he had

Come to the meet anyways :)

My advice when you get the car, is book a full service on it asap. Get all the oils replaced with new quality stuff. My gearbox was running fine in the first 2 weeks and then started to crap down. Probably didn't have gearbox oil change since Japan

Get fuel filter changed, afm checked/cleaned, o2 sensor checked/changed, spark plugs checked/changed etc

Hope to see it at many sau-vic events :)

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
